The Feminine Point of Wow.

Il notice" said lady friend the other day,
that some fool man has invented a collapsing
bat for ladies to wear to public entertain
ments. He might lave saved himself his
pains. Women wear high hats simply be-
cause they are the fashion. Beauty or ugli-
ness, comfort or convenience has nothing to
do with the question. The collapsing hat is
not fashionable, and that settles it. l don't
know where our fashions come from or who
sets them, but l know we don't. American
women have nothing to do but blindly follow.
and / tell you now, in all seriousness, that all
the talk in newspapers n the indignation of
the public has not lone a particle of good.
The high hats will go when the fashion
changes and not a day Observation-Disclosures

Story of washinpton Socfatv.

There is a secret in Washington involving
the name of senator's wife Of whom the fol-
lowing is told, as having occurred recently:
The senator's wife in her round of visits
called on a lady whose marriage within a
year was one of the events talked of in official
society, on account Of the high official posi-
ton Of her husband. The senator's wife, as
the story goes, called on the lady's day, and
was received with much cordial politeness, as
were all callers. In a little pause after the
first salutation, the senator's wife said, us it
true, Mrs. Blank, that you were a clerk in
one Of tho departments before your first mar
riage; and did your mother keep a boarding
housel"
The hostess proved equal to the unexpected
assault, as she also proved herself q woman of
good breeding-which cannot be said of her
visitor.
ayes" she replied, with perfect dignity and
good temper, lit is true that I was a clerk in
one of the departments before my first mar
rage. But my mother did not keep a board
ing house. If she had I should have had a

@ty for me to be a clerk, you know"

At a period when Mossop, the great actor,
was managing the theatre in Smock alley.
Dublin, business was bad and his actors were
not paid their salaries. One night Mossop,
playing Lear, was supported in the arms Of
an actor playing Kent, who whispered to
him: IF you don't give me your honor, sir,
that you'll pay me my arrearages this night
before I go home I'll let you drop" Mossop,
alarmed, besought the man not to talk to
him now. II WILL" said Kent, II will; I'll
let you drop" Mossop was obliged to give
the promise and the actor thus got his money,
the effect of a desperate though well timed
hint-Detroit Free Press.

How to Know Good Meat.
DR.. Letheby lays down the following SIM
pie rules for the guidance of those in search
Of good meat:
1t is neither of pale pink nor of a deep
purple tint.
1t has a marked appearance from the rami-
fcation of little veins of fat among tho
muscles.
1t should be firm and elastic to the touch.
Bad meat is wet, sodden and flabby, with the
fat looking like jelly or wet parchment.
It should lave little or no odor, and the
odor should not be disagreeable. Diseased
meat has a sickly, cadaverous smell, and
sometimes a smell of physic. This is discov-
erable if the meat is chopped and drenched
with warm water.
1t should not shrink or waste much in cook

DETROIT, April 5.-Retprns from the state

Is to the vote on the Prohibition amend
ment. The Evening Journals returns up
to 10 a. M, indicate that the amendment
carried by a small majority.
Mcmillan, Chairman of the Republican
State Committee, says that while he has no
figures or which to base an accurate esti.
mate, his belief is that the Republican State
ticket has been elected by a thousand, and
that the amendment is defeated by about
the same figures. At 10 o'clock this morn
ing Prof. Dickie, Chairmon af the Prohibit
ton State Committee, claimed that the
amendment has carried by $1,000 ma
jority.
Later figures materially change the result
of the vote OF the Prohibition amend
ments. The Evening Journals figure o
show nine thousand against the amend
ments, and it is unlikely that the majority
will be overcome.

CHICAGO, April 5.-The day is clear and
cold, and reports from nearly all the wards
indicate that a very large vote will be pol.
ed. The contest lies between the Republican

hibitionists have ticket peddlers at nearly
every polling place. The polls opened at 6
O'Clock, and the greater portion OF the La.
bor vote was polled during the early hours.
At 8 O'Clock reports from various pre-
cincts showed that from one-fourth to one
half oil the entire registered vote l. been
cast.
By noon fully one-half, and in some
wards two-thirds, OF the entire registered
vote had been cast. This would indicate
that the entire city vote will reach proba-
bly, $4,000 and possibly $4,000. While
there have been large crowds at the polling
places, no violence has been reported. In

Neatness of Artillerymen.

The aspect of troops of all arms of the
service is very different in battle from the
trim and neat parade appearance, but no
where is this difference so marked as in
the artillery. 1t was always most inter-
esting to me to watch a battery going into
action. The a~rtillerymen were very care
full at all times to be dressed strictly in
accordance with regulations, and when a
battery took position every cannonader
looked as if he had just prepared himself
for inspection. Nothing could be neater
and more uniform than their appearance.
But this did moi last long. AS the fire
began to get hot a jacket here and there
would be thrown off; next the collars
would go, and often the shirts. The men
were o bathed in perspiration, which
they would hastily brush off with their
powder blackened hands, leaving great
marks wherever they touched themselves.
When the men began to fall and were
carried to h rear by their comrades,
blood stains were added to the powder
marks, and at the close of the fight the
artillerymen, so remarkable for their fine
appearance at its opening, presented the
most horrible spectacle that can be i'm
agined. But they SOC removed all trace
of the fray, and by the next day were as
clean n neat as ever.-Col. John b.
Gandolfo in Globe-Democrat.

A great French dressmaker told a
charming story the other day while con
versing with a reporter. She received
one day carte blanche for a costume from
a lady of high distinction and immense
wealth. 1t was a ball dress, and the
only conditions imposed were that it
should be suggestive of youth and spring.
The dressmaker racked her brains, but
the longed for inspiration would not
come. Time was short, the fair client
much too rich to disappoint, and the idea
positively refused to present itself. All
night long the dressmaker wrestled with
her wits, but they got the better of her.
and at last, weary and irritable, she aban-
doned the struggle for the time, and
threw open the window to watch the
coming daybreak. She leaned out mood

greens, and rosy tlushes in the east. until
By and by the SUI rose in all its splendor.

harp on the prejudice of the Cheyenne
papers against Link and Baker, the fol-
lowing from the Rawlins Journal may be
read with interest: The shooting of the
two railroad employees at Chug the first OF

cannot be too strongly condemned. A
little brief authority where fire arms
form part Of the insignia seems to turn
the heads of some men. We agree with

men with SO little sense as was shown
by the special deputies didn't accidentally
shoot themselves before they got SO far

Women do not attend funerals in Mex

test customs in Mexico is the universal
respect which greets a passing funeral.

he read an editorial which appeared in

subject of the reckless dilatory motions
which are now being i~nterposed by the

phasis.

An interesting phenomenon has for
some time past been observed on the east
ern coast Of the Caspian sea. The Kara
Bobhas is an estuary nearly separated
from the main body Of the sea by a bank
through which there is an inlet. The
evaporation from this gulf is SO great
that a current continually sets in from
the Caspian, and as there is no return
current the water of the gulf becomes
more and more saliferous, and a deposit
OF salt is in course of formation. The
natural result Of this would appear to be
that in time this gulf will be cut off from
the Caspian, and being thus dried up will
become an extensive salt bed.-New York
Sun:
